The Senate is expected to move forward on June 3 with legislation that would provide funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol.

The push comes after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced Tuesday that the Trump administration would abandon plans for a proposed $1.8 billion compensation fund for individuals claiming harm by the federal government.
